After rising to the highest-rated global Coca Cola spot of all time, spawning a mocumentary and a movie, I wasn’t sure what else could come for the Happiness Factory campaign. (and here’s a link to the original spot, just in case). Now the Happiness Factory is hiring, with an elaborate, detailed, and pretty dang fun website. It’s currently site of the month at FWA. Impressive to say the least – and interesting to watch the evolution from an animated spot.

In a fitful moment last night, the Publisher of this site asked agencies to have some fun with Schick®.

One agency–Circle One Marketing of Norwalk, CT–has now done so.

Circe One embraces through-the-line marketing to do traditional, in-store, promotions and interactive for clients like Tastykake, Traffic.com, Birds Eye, Cadbury Schweppes beverages and Pepperidge Farm.

Ukranian tennis star, Alona Bondarenko, appears suggestively in the new K-Swiss ad campaign.

So what’s with the headline? It’s almost as if the brand is saying, “Hey, this is a tennis star, not a sex object.” Except they’re not.

Toth Brand Imaging is behind the work.

Chicago Tribune reports that 48% of teenagers bought no CDs at all in 2007, up from 38% in 2006.

Rachel Rottman, 14, says she hasn’t bought a CD in a year. The Santa Monica High School freshman says she downloads five or six songs a day, using paid services such as iTunes and social networking site MySpace, where bands post songs for free download. Rachel said she had about 2,600 songs stored on her computer.

Before getting a computer in the seventh grade, she always bought CDs. But now it’s too much trouble, she said.

“You have to go to the store and then you have to pay — I don’t know how much, $12, I’m guessing? — then you have to put it on your computer,” Rachel said. “When you download it, it’s right there.”

When I think about how much space all my CDs take up, I’m not exactly excited to add to that pile of plastic. Yet, I’m only too eager to discover something on iTunes that I can buy and store digitally.
